A nod to the classic great looks of vintage frames from decades past, the newly-made Moscot Originals retain all of the authenticity of the frames that first made Moscot famous.
Moscot Originals Sunglasses take vintage one step further by fashioning glass lenses that precisely replicate
the true old school glass colors first fabricated by the company in the 1940s.
The ultra sleek Moscot Spirit line – available as glasses or sunglasses – pays homage to the Originals while incorporating modern styling for a look that’s bold, edgy and timeless.
1. Eyewear Updates That Can Help Shave 20 Years Off Your Face
According MOSCOT, women can shave 20 years off their face by simply switching to contact lenses and/or updating the look of their eyeglasses.
2. Here’s Looking at You, Kid
Much like eyebrow shaping, the right eyewear can play up all the right features, highlight your beauty and give you a more youthful appearance – not to mention help you see!
MOSCOT specifically recommends the following tips to look and feel half your age:
- According to MOCOT, an authorized Bausch and Lomb Multifocal specialist, 90% of women over the age of 40 will find they need bifocals – skip the “granny” line of bifocal glasses and instead try Bausch & Lomb’s brand new Purevision Multi-focal contact lenses. Multifocal contact lenses offer the best of both worlds: no glasses, along with good near and distance vision.
- Look for shapes that offset gravity. Curvy, feminine eyewear that tilts upwards will help lift the face and give you a younger look.
- Consider color! Funky plastic frames in bold colors will draw attention away from wrinkles and help light up the face. Also, selecting frames that fit where the bottom of the frame coincides with the wrinkles and bags of the eye (below the eye) helps hide these bags
- Accentuate the positive! If your eyes are blue have your Optometrist tint your eyeglass lens to draw attention to your pretty eye color. (Don’t overdo it though – the operative word here is “light.”)
- Lighten & brighten with colored contacts! Whereas a drastic change from dark brown to blue may make you too self-conscious, a lighter shade of your natural color might be just the update you need.
- Update, update, update! If you’ve been wearing the same frames for the past decade, it’s probably time to experiment with the latest styles to keep your look young and fresh. Like a new haircut, a new style of eyewear can change everything.
